Well, How's it going?
It goes ok.
I gave in. I went on the dole, in Sept 2007 and I held out for a decent job.
In January I got one and that lasted until June and then I took more temp work which in hindsight I shouldn't have, and that lasted up to July. Then it was back on the dole to wait for the next academic year.
I was told I would be offered the same job this year but I'm getting twitchy. Term starts August the 26th, and I've heard nothing, nada, sweet FA. *twitch* I was careful with my cash, I had enough put by to pay bills and keep a civilized standard of living going, but that's about to run out. *twitch*
Which is probably why I have this absurd desire to buy a porch swing. I always wanted one, and because of the lousy summer we're having, they're reduced. Note, I said reduced, not cheap.
If I had a porch I could maybe see some sense in this notion, although even then one fine day in every six or so would hardly justify the expense.
Sometimes I think I am decidedly odd.
I have also lost 18.5 lbs since May! Go me! It must be at least 3 years since I was this weight. Still got 9lb to go but it's so good to see something moving in the right direction.
Still living in the same house. Can't sell it basically. I'm looking forward to getting a job because then I can save some cash and maybe attend to the eternal problems of damp walls and leaking roofs.
My desire to move to Spain has lessened after a bit of research, though sometimes, especially on a day like this, I have to ask myself why.
